As a health and nutrition coach, I am often being asked what I eat for breakfast or what other people should eat to give them plenty of energy for the day ahead. My answer to that question is always a meal that involves a quality protein, carbohydrates and lots of healthy fats! This green power protein smoothie ticks all of those boxes and more! I have been having this smoothie regularly for a few years now and I still can’t get enough of it. It is full of goodness that will make you look and feel amazing for the day ahead!
Green Power Protein Smoothie
Ingredients:
- 1 frozen banana
- 1/3 cup frozen mango
- 1 large handful baby spinach
- 1 medjool date (pitted and chopped)
- 1 serve of vanilla protein power (I use PranaON plant protein)
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 tbsp psyllium husks or chia seeds
- 1 cup milk of choice (I use either Pureharvest coconut or almond milk)
Method:
- Add all ingredients to your blender and blend until smooth.
- Pour into a bowl and decorate with your favourite toppings. I like to alternate my topping combinations but they will usually contain 2-3 of the following: coconut flakes, goji berries, cacao nibs, homemade granola, pepita seeds, fresh fruit or nut butters.
